Michael Keaton's Batman almost became DC's definitive live-action Dark Knight, but Warner Bros. repeatedly prevented that from happening.

Warner Bros. failed to do justice to Michael Keaton's iconic Batman character despite his highly anticipated return in "The Flash."
Keaton's Batman role helped establish the dark and realistic portrayal of the character, becoming a reference point for the genre as a whole.
While there were plans for Keaton's Batman to appear in other DCEU projects, including "Batgirl" and "Aquaman 2," they were ultimately scrapped due to franchise shakeups and cancellations.
